描述: This special topics volume "Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer in Applied Engineering" contains some recent results in the area of computational research on the mixed and forced convection heat transfer from the confined obstacle cylinder and fluid flow for film cooling. We hope that the presented modest effort and results will be useful for different fields of engineering applications as well as academic researches.

描述: Diffusion is an omnipresent, but the important phenomenon in a wide variety of disciplines and applications in physical, chemical, biological, geologic, materials science and engineering processes. While diffusion-controlled phase transformations involve in a variety of materials processes, ranging from solidification to different solid-state transformations. Modeling of diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations in alloys has been of long-standing fundamental interests because advance modeling can help to improve the understanding of complex materials processes. Moreover, as the recent boost in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) projects, additional emphasis on the necessity and urgency of the quantitative modeling of diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations in alloys has been laying, which can provide useful information for accelerating the novel alloys design. Consequently, the purpose of this book, entitled "Modeling of Diffusion and Diffusion-Controlled Phase Transformations in Alloys" is to provide a collection of the commonly used computational approaches for modeling diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, as well as their current status, recent developments, future trends and applications in different alloys.

描述: The purpose of this volume is to present recent results of developments and applications of novel materials, namely, nontoxic ecological materials, green and nanomaterials, advanced membrane technologies and building materials.

描述: Diffusion studies in the Ni- and Fe-aluminium based multicomponent systems are very important for understanding the performance and reliability of products in various sectors such as aviation and power generation industries. This volume deals with different aspects of diffusion-related studies covering thermodynamics, phase stability, fundamental diffusion studies in binary, ternary and multicomponent systems.

描述: The general intention of this volume is to give the readers a wide overview of physical problems connected with the processes controlled by atomic migration and of the methods of their modelling. The collection is addressed to researchers and graduate students working in the field of diffusion and diffusion-controlled processes in condensed matter.
